Lin Heng walked towards the center of the martial arts arena, surrounded by over a thousand pairs of eyes fixed on him with predatory intent.
Arriving at the center of the arena, Lin Heng glanced around at the eager participants from the Hundred Schools, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
"Don't be shy, anyone who wants to challenge me can come out now."
The domineering declaration and blatant provocation immediately drew fierce looks from many people.
" Xiao He from the Eternal Joy Sect came to seek advice."
A middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, with his hair tied in a bun and holding a delicate longsword, was the first to step forward.
Lin Heng didn't say anything, but simply raised his right hand and extended three fingers.
Xiao He looked puzzled, not understanding what Lin Heng meant.
The next second, Lin Heng retracted one of his three fingers.
Realizing that Lin Heng was counting down, Xiao He couldn't help but sneer, "Since you like counting, then I'll just let you live a few more seconds. Consider it my mercy."
Lin Heng shook his head slightly, glancing at Xiao He with pity.
An ant's view of the sky; the arrogance of the ignorant!
Xiao He, relying on his cultivation level of the Fifth-Turn Samsara Realm, completely disregarded Lin Heng.
Soon, just as Lin Heng withdrew the last finger, Xiao He's expression suddenly changed drastically.
With his speed increased by 100,000 times, Lin Heng appeared behind Xiao He in an instant.
When the killing intent arose, Xiao He was about to assume a defensive stance, but the price of his arrogance was that he was a step slower than Lin Heng.
Just as the Killing Sword pierced through Xiao He's body, Xiao He had just raised his arm.
But it was all over. The Power of Killing surged forth like a raging dragon from the sea, rampaging through Xiao He's body and destroying all his life force.
" Time Acceleration? How is that possible?"
These were Xiao He's last words before he died; even in death, his eyes remained wide open, filled with deep doubt.
Why is Lin Heng, who First-Turn Samsara, able to use Time Acceleration?
But he will never know the answer.
Lin Heng's single sword strike that killed Xiao He caused an uproar among the crowd.
The Chang Eternal Joy Sect Eternal Joy Sect members, who had been cheering for Xiao He, suddenly stopped. Staring at Xiao He's lifeless body lying on the ground, their eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
In a battle between Fifth-Turn Samsara and First-Turn Samsara, he was killed in a single exchange.
This was something that not only the people of the Eternal Joy Sect couldn't understand, but also people from other sects, and even from the Thirteen Factions including Chen Yulin, couldn't figure it out.
However, the challenge was far from over in the face of Lin Heng's strength.
While Lin Heng's methods were indeed terrifying, some people still didn't believe that it was his true strength.
After a brief silence, another person emerged.
Having reached the Sixth-Turn Samsara, the cruel and bloodthirsty merman attacked without even a greeting the moment he appeared.
To say that Xiao He was overconfident and let Lin Heng benefit from it is an overstatement.
This time, everyone was convinced that Lin Heng was doomed.
Merfolk Race are ruthless; they will attack with all their might even when facing a mere mortal.
The golden halberd, carrying the force of breaking through the wind, pierced through space and instantly appeared in front of Lin Heng with the merman.
Its sharp edge radiated a chilling aura under the sunlight.
Many spectators had already imagined the scene of the mixed-gold halberd piercing through Lin Heng's head.
Ten meters!
Five meters!
One meter!
The mixed-gold halberd drew closer and closer to Lin Heng, its violent aura causing Lin Heng's clothes to rustle loudly.
Just as the golden halberd was about to pierce Lin Heng's head, a scene that astonished everyone occurred.
When the mixed-gold halberd was only thirty centimeters away from Lin Heng's head, it only needed to thrust forward just one more time to pierce into Lin Heng's head.
But then the golden halberd stopped, and Lin Heng vanished from the spot.
A streak of crimson light flashed briefly in mid-air.
As the crimson light fell, Lin Heng appeared less than fifty meters behind the merman.
Looking at the merman again, the golden halberd slipped weakly from his hand, and the merman, devoid of any life force, fell from the sky.
In less than ten seconds, another Sixth-Turn Samsara Realm was slain by Lin Heng's Killing Sword.
If it were said that Xiao He was killed, the people of the Hundred Schools would still have a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was Xiao He's arrogance that led to his downfall.
Once the merman who Sixth-Turn Samsara was killed, he truly wouldn't have a single thought of making excuses.
By killing two Samsara Realm in succession, Lin Heng proved his strength with the blood of his enemies.
This time, no one stepped forward.
After killing the merman, Lin Heng didn't even bother to look back. His gaze naturally fell on the other sects, sweeping over them one by one.
Faced with Lin Heng's provocative gaze, no one dared to step forward and fight.
You're kidding! Even a mermaid who's reached the Sixth-Turn Samsara couldn't last a single round against Lin Heng. Who would be so foolish as to risk their life to die?
Lin Heng's strength also led to different evaluations from the Thirteen Factions on the high platform!
Lei Clan: " Lin Heng used Time Acceleration the first time and Time Stasis the second time, but he himself has only undergone First-Turn Samsara. Could there be some secret hidden within him?"
Metal Clan: "What's there to think about? We'll just summon him after this competition and question him directly."
Earth Clan: "If someone really had any secret skills, would they tell you?"
Fire Clan: "Whether he speaks or not is up to him, but how to make him speak is up to us. What's so difficult about that?"
Asura Island: "Gentlemen, Lin Heng is a member of our Ascenders, not one of your Eight Great Imperial Clans. If you want to find him, you'll have to ask us first, won't you?"
The Firmament Hall: "If you wish to speak with Lin Heng, this is fine. However, if you take him away, then the Firmament Hall will have to argue with you."
On the high platform, the Eight Great Imperial Clans and the Five Great Ascender Factions had already started arguing over Lin Heng.
First-Turn Samsara can unleash Space Acceleration and Space Stasis; such a miraculous existence is bound to Immovable the attention of outsiders.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans treated Lin Heng as a research subject, hoping to extract secrets from him.
Lin Heng, who had displayed astonishing strength, was seen as a rising star with immense potential by the Ascenders. How could they tolerate the Eight Great Imperial Clans attacking him?
This is actually the real reason why Lin Heng didn't care at all about revealing his trump card.
Time Stasis!
First-Grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure!
These supernatural powers and spiritual treasures should never have appeared in the hands of a cultivator who First-Turn Samsara.
Lin Heng naturally understood the consequences of revealing it.
But Lin Heng also understood another point: only by demonstrating absolute strength could he receive the corresponding treatment.
Just as Lin Heng had guessed, after he killed two Samsara Realm in succession, the Ascenders Ones listed him as a key target for protection.
Meanwhile, in the arena, seeing that no one had stepped forward for a long time, Lin Heng Killing Sword at the forces under the command of the Eight Great Imperial Clans who had been the most vocal earlier.
"What? Facing First-Turn Samsara, you don't even dare to send a master to fight?"
